Subject: English The essence of Role Play is that it is a group, co-operative experience.” Role-playing takes place between two or more people, who act out roles to explore a particu- lar scenario. It's most useful to help students prepare for unfamiliar or difficult situations. By acting scenarios students explore how other people are likely to respond to different ap- proaches. They also get a sense of what other people are likely to be thinking and feeling in the situation. By preparing for a situation using role-play, students build up experience and self-confidence with handling the situation in real life, and can develop quick and instinctively correct reac- tions to situations. This means that they'll react effectively as situations evolve, rather than making mistakes or becoming overwhelmed by events. 8
